Poly(vinyl chloride). PVC is one of the most important and versatile commodity polymers (Table 4). It is inherently flame retardant and chemically resistant and has found numerous and varied appHcations, principally because of its low price and capacity for being modified. Without modification, processibiUty, heat stabiUty, impact strength, and appearance all are poor. Thermal stabilizers, lubricants, plasticizers, impact modifiers, and other additives transform PVC into a very versatile polymer (257,258). 

As a further illustration of the concept of polymers Table 2.1 gives the repeating units of a number of other well-known plastics. 

Since polyethylene is a crystalline hydrocarbon polymer incapable of specific interaction and with a melting point of about 100°C, there are no solvents at room temperature. Low-density polymers will dissolve in benzene at about 60°C but the more crystalline high-density polymers only dissolve at temperatures some 20-30°C higher. Materials of similar solubility parameter and low molecular weight will, however, cause swelling, the more so in low-density polymers Table 10.5). 

The first commercial polymer Table 21.3, II) was offered in 1965 by Union Carbide as Bakelite Polysulfone, now renamed Udel. In 1967 Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing introduced Astrel 360 Table 21.3, V), which they referred to as a polyarylsulfone. In 1972 ICI brought a third material onto the market which they called a polyethersulphone (III) and which they then marketed as Victrex. They also introduced a material intermediate between III and V known as Polyethersulphone 720P (IV) but which has now been withdrawn. In the late 1970s Union Carbide introduced Radel (VI), which has a higher level of toughness. Around 1986 Union Carbide sold their interest in polysulphones to Amoco. In addition the Astrel materials were produced by Carborundum under licence from ICI. 

Sauerer (1991) has listed possible applications for these polymers Table 31.4). 

The packed columns of Shodex PROTEIN KW-800 series are packed with hydrophilic silica-based gels and are best suited for analyses of proteins and water-soluble polymers (Table 6.14, page 213). 

As described earlier, Jordi Associates provides columns for both neutral and charged polymers. Table 13.1 lists the charge types of each phase. This will allow for planning a coherent strategy for method development.

When monomer units add directly to one another, the result is an addition polymer. Table 23.1 lists some of the more familiar synthetic addition polymers. You will notice that each of these is derived from a monomer containing a carbon-carbon double bond. Upon polymerization, the double bond is converted to a single bond ...

Thus a variety of P-PIN polymerizations have been carried out under conditions isobutylene yields living polymer. Table 1 shows the results of representative experiments. 

The precise placement of methyl branches on every 9di, 11th, 15th, 19th, and 21st carbon atom has had a significant impact on the thermal properties of these model polymers. Table 8.1 gives a numerical indication of how different the... 

Applications The broad industrial analytical applicability of microwave heating was mentioned before (see Section 3.4.4.2). The chemical industry requires extractions of additives (antioxidants, colorants, and slip agents) from plastic resins or vulcanised products. So far there have been relatively few publications on microwave-assisted solvent extraction from polymers (Table 3.5). As may be seen from Tables 3.27 and 3.28, most MAE work has concerned polyolefins. 

Mass spectrometry has a number of features and advantages that can make it a very valuable tool for the identification of organic additives in polymers (Table 6.2). The range of products that can be studied is limited by the ionisation method used and the performance of the mass spectrometer. Mass spectrometry... 

Applications Mass spectrometry has often been used more as an auxiliary, rather than a primary, identification method for additives in polymers. Table 6.5 shows the suitability of various ionisation modes for oligomer (and polymer) analysis. 

The choice of one polymerization method over another is defined by the type of monomer and the desired properties of the polymer. Table 2.1 lists advantages and disadvantages of the different chain growth mechanisms. Table 2.2 summarizes some well known addition polymers and the methods by which they can be polymerized. 

The poor adhesion of carboxymethylcellulose to synthetic fibres means that where such fibres are present, it can only be effective in combination with a synthetic size polymer (Table 10.6). This needs to be taken into account when considering suitable desizing procedures. If this cellulose derivative is to be used in conjunction with an electrolyte-sensitive acrylic acid copolymer, it is advisable to choose a salt-free carboxymethylcellulose.

Hydrophilic polymers (Table 5) provide a matrix which is comparable to an aqueous environment. Ions can diffuse quite freely, but the possible water uptake (10-1000%) can cause significant swelling of the polymer. Swelling of the matrix affects the optical properties of the sensors and, consequently, the signal changes. Immobilization of the indicator chemistry usually is achieved via covalent bonding to the polymer. 

In this form, the energy needed to break the original polymer bonds to cause unzipping or volatilization with char is closer to values representative of noncharring solid polymers. Table 9.1 gives some representative values found for the heats of gasification.
